Singapore in World Cup 2006 already!

What Goal 2010? We already have representatives at this year's World Cup. Not only that, he is rated top of his domain. Check this out.

If he maintains his form, Singapore would probably garner some glory from this World Cup. An idea for our Minister of Sports maybe? To concentrate more funds training world class referees instead.







All the best Shamsul. We may not have the best players, but we do not underestimate our referees.

" Siao eh, don't give penalty!"

Being an avid soccer fan, World Cup 2006 is definitely my most watched tv show now.

Any of you who watch the World Cup would have noticed that the referee has a mouth-piece taped on his cheeks. Its purpose is to have a seamless communication with his assistant referees, which include 2 linesmen and 1 more at the sideline.

But I think otherwise.

The party at the end of the line are not the referees. But who? The bookies. Probably the " World Bookies Association". They are the main factor contributing to all the controvesial decisions of late.

A classic example- Australia vs Croatia
When Josep Simunic received his second yellow card.
Bookie to the referee: "Oei Pol, Dun give him red card. Cannot let the Aussies win. Must play to a draw!"

Sumunic was not sent off despite having 2 yellow cards.

The referee went on to disallow a goal by Australia in the dying minutes. During injury time when the score was 2-2, something shocking happened.

Bookie: Eh.. Now you can send Sumunic off liao. We all win money today. Can pang kang liao.
Ref: But how should I do it?
B: Wah liew eh.. Give him another yellow card lah.

That's precisely what happened after that.

Minimal contact

Guys, afraid of getting germs from the toilet?

Having a compulsive disorder for hygiene?

Thinking that even after you washed your hands, you have to pushed the bacteria-filled door to get out?

Now fear no more! Technology is now able to help you curb this obsession.

The modern toilet has been designed in a way that men can go in without touching anything other than yourself. ( No pun intended)

How?

Today, when a man goes to the gents, he would realise there's no doors at the entrance. Walls have been employed to pave the way to the toilet, while adequately blocking the view of the entrance from any inquisitive girls. He walks to the urinal. Obviously, the only thing he need to make contact with is his zip. And his underwear of course. Don't worry about not flushing. With the automated flushing system, the urinal will be flushed everytime a human being leaves his position.

After that, the man obeys the cardinal law of washing his hands even though he has merely touched his zip and undergarment. He simply leaves his hands below the tap and water rushes out in no time. No pushing or turning of the tap is required. Then, he goes to dry his hand under the established automated drying machine.

With all the necessary business completed, the man weaved out of the toilet and is pleased with himself that he is free from any virus.
